Hi Douglas! You always do such nice architectural work. And these all live up to your standards. However, we know Posy, but this is, I think, the first time we've seen Frauke. Any chance we might "meet" her from less than 50 meters? Glad you enjoyed Berlin. Thanks for sharing a small bit of your trip! :-) I, for one, shall look forward to the rest!
